can someone break down what's happening here? he's playing alterate double strokes on both left hand and foot while soloing with the right hand?

[Edgarbopp]

@Hamgammy He starts with a 16th note double stroke between the right foot and left hand wile keeping quarter notes on his hi-hat(roto-tom thing). Wile he is doing this he is improvising with his right hand. He then switches to a 16th note double stroke between he right hand and right foot wile improvising with his left hand. There is also a melody that he returns to every so often.

This kind of independence is unsettling. It's like watching someone write a novel while riding a bike, or something.

@drumrnva this is my fav comment so far =)

lol are these cymbals the black alphas from joey jordison?

[Edgarbopp]

@1995pg @1995pg these videos were made 1993. those were terry's signature paiste cymbals. "VISIONS series, professional level; Both Signature Alloy and CuSn8 alloy cymbals, produced in the early mid 90s. Were treated with COLORSOUND process. Offered in Black only. Designed for Terry Bozzio." <---Wikipedia

I know this won't make me too many friends, but the drums he's playing in this video sound better than the DWs he's playing now.

He should have stuck with the ponytail. lol

Look at his face, especially at 3:40

[FoolOfTheWeek]

im pretty sure he made a mistake at 2:40 and just overplayed by repeating it.

so hes not god.

what is he?

The federal govt. needs to wipe out several lame programs and create the DOD: Department of Drumming and Bozzio ought to be its secretary. Hell, just create an art & music department and make Quincy Jones the head. He can give Bozzio the job. This country lacks culture but Terry certainly doesn't. This piece is so musical and yet so simple. Actually a piece one could learn to play w/o studying for years.
